Has anybody used Levaquin 500 mg before?

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody,

Monday night we got back from a trip. While on our trip a

noticed that when she ran she got tired, which is unusual for her.

Then monday she started coughing, she coughed yesterday then when I

picked her up at school she said she did not feel good at all and

asked me to take her to the doctor. I called the doc and he said

bring her in right away. Well, a said she had too much homework

to wait until the morning. This morning I took her and her O2 was 95

and her pfts were the lowest ever, not including diagnosis time.

She has been put on Levaquin 500 mg, Tobi, and, and the one that I

hate very much Prednisone, she is on Zithromax.

I doubt that I will give her the prednisone, but does anybody have

any comments on Levaquin?

The weird thing is that her lungs are cleared but she does have a

runny nose. Coughing has been dry but when we did the vest this

morning she had some mucus, I have not been able to get a good

sample, I am going to try tonight. He mentioned if by next week she

has not improved, she is going on IV's which scared the heck out of

her, she has never been on IV's antibiotic or hospitalized.

Well any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and love to all of you,
